Queens Pay to Play Journalism Nussbaum

The publisher of the South Eastern Queens Press which endorsed Leroy Comrie for state senate against Malcolm Smith was his wife Marcia Moxam Comrie. During her husband political career Mrs. Comrie has been listed as the SE Queens Press's Publisher, Contributing Editor and Associate Publisher and Editor in Chief of the Queens Tribune. The Owner of the South Eastern Queens Press is also the publisher of the Queens Tribune Michael Nussbaum. Michael Nussbaum the publisher of the Queens Tribune owns a printing company called muilti media that has a long relationship doing printing work for Parkside clients. But if you look at the finance filings you almost never the Nussbaum or any other hidden subcontactor because because the election law does not require them to file. This year Parkside was paid at least $33,000 to do mailing for Comrie.No surprise here: Trib endorsed only Multimedia candidates (Queens Crap)* Meng lies about her relationship with Multimedia (Queens Crap) * Democrat who Backs Bloomberg Played Role in Bribery Scandal (NYT)The businessman, Michael A. Nussbaum, was convicted in 1987 of soliciting a $250,000 bribe for Mr. Manes, but the conviction was overturned on appeal. The appeals court ruled that Mr. Nussbaum could not be charged with bribery because he was not a public official, and that there was insufficient evidence linking Mr. Manes - the only public official implicated - to any bribery plot.

A New York World review of campaign finance records and endorsements found that of the 15 candidates who purchased services from Multi-Media Advertising in competitive races for amounts exceeding $1,000, 11 also received a public endorsement from the Tribune in that race.

In queens the local newspaper, the political machine and government all work together. The paper do not preform the role of checks and balances that Founding Father envisioned to protect the people from the government and ensure a working democracy. Instead Queens local newspapers have gamed journalism to operate as a co-machine in Queens.
